    Default so what do yall think? i know what im leaning towards, miata vs camaro

    so heres the deal, my Miata(99) broke(spun a bearing), so im in the process of building it. I planed on fully building it and putting a nice lil gt35r on it. but now im at a cross roads, i could continue to build it or just rebuild it stockish. if i went to rebuild it stockish then id get me a 3rd gen camaro. now on to the camaro, i wanna do 1 of 2 things with it, either get another gt35r and tt it or a big single turbo, so IA what ya think i should do, im leaning towards the camaro cause i really love those cars.

    I say twin turbo Camaro for the quick spool, unless you wanna just drag race it. If so, single.

    Camaro, but I'm obviously biased. LS swap is the way to go. 5.3s can be had from less than $500 from intake to oil pan with a harness. Expect nickle and diming though. I'm currently in the process of putting a LQ9 6.0 in the Camaro in my sig. I'd just do the swap first, and work with the turbo(s) later. Keep the stock exhaust manifolds. Alot of guys are cleaning them up and welding v-band flanges on them for their turbo setups. Thats why I'm keeping mine.

    The earlier style transmissions bolt up, you'll need a fly wheel and pilot spacer though. Like $150-200 from GMPartsDirect.com or Scoggin-Dickey.
